DJ Uiagalelei ‘I Am Exonerated’ After Clemson Game Do You Agree With Him?
The Clemson Tigers ended up winning the game 29-13. Florida State moved to 1-5 (1-4 ACC) as the pressure and in-game woes continue to pile up.
The Florida State Seminoles faced off against the No. 15 Clemson Tigers on Saturday, and the season has continued to produce turmoil for the ‘Noles.
After looking somewhat competent on offense during the first quarter, the bottom fell out despite a change from DJ Uiagalelei to Brock Glenn under center.
Glenn threw for 228 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. The run game didn’t fare much better, as FSU was only able to gain 22 yards on the ground.
The ‘Noles won the coin toss and deferred to put their defense on the field first. After a stop on first down by defensive end Marvin Jones, Jr. and linebacker Blake Nichelson the defense was able to force the Tigers to punt on an incomplete pass by Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik.
FSU quarterback Brock Glenn took his first starting snap of the 2024 season and completed his first pass of the year to running back Lawrance Toafili for three yards. The Clemson defense tallied their first sack of the night by linebacker Carter Barrett as the two teams traded three-and-outs
The Tigers were the first to get on the scoreboard on a 26-yard field goal from kicker Nolan Hauser. After a quick three-and-out for the ‘Noles, Clemson was able to get on the board again with a 57-yard touchdown pass to Antonio Williams to make the score 10-0.
Interceptions have plagued the ‘Noles all season and Glenn gave up Florida State’s seventh on a pass intended for wide receiver Hykeem Williams. Clemson defensive back Avieon Terrell came down with the ball and the Tigers were able to add another six on a 23-yard pass to wide receiver T.J. Moore.
Florida State was able to respond on a 35-yard catch and run to tight end Landen Thomas, a roughing the passer call put the ‘Noles on the ten-yard line and FSU was able to get on the board with a touchdown pass to tight end Amaree Williams making the score 17-7. The pass became Glenn’s first career passing touchdown
